red rover red rover send mary right over

We used to play red rover red rover send NAME right over. Send Billy, he’s frilly, his skin’s white as vanilly. Send Jackie, she’s whacky, let’s give her a smacky. We were ruthless in our run, slamming arms, yet full of fun. The game was easy to understand, the person who was named had to run. And try to get the other team’s arms unclasped, that was the fun. We held on tightly, not letting them in, full of vigor, orneriness and vim. For letting them in meant letting them win, taking a hostage back with them.
